Re: [Wlug] how to setup wireless network for WPI campus

by Zhiwei Ren

hi, thank you for the respond. My card is Netgear 802.11b PCMCIA MA401, it is supported by linux. Because I can use wireless under those wireless network which doesn't require SSID or WEP. So I think I should ask my question in this way: How and where to set the configuration for SSID and WEP in Mandrake linux? Ren On Sun, 8 Feb 2004, Gregory Boyce wrote: > What model card?

how to setup wireless network for WPI campus

by Zhiwei Ren

hi, everyone. I am trying to config my linux laptop so I can use wireless connection on campus. However, it is not easy. I modified some script file and added the SSID and WEP info into it. However, it still didn't work. Anyone have some idea or experience about this? thanks

RE: [Wlug] RedHat 7.1 boot floppy

by Martin, Eric

My suggestion is use a gentoo live cd (go with x86 no stages). Just mount your hdx to /mnt/... -----Original Message----- From: Norm Legare [mailto:normlegare@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 3:57 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] RedHat 7.1 boot floppy Hi All, My desktop has 2 hard drives, one with Windows, one with Linux. By inserting the floppy, it boots Linux. Unfortunately, the floppy just stopped working (I get the Linux prompt, but then booting reports disk failure) for some reason. I need to retrieve several files on the Linux hard drive. I have RedHat 7.1 on cd. Can a new boot floppy be made while preserving the existing Linux installation?
